What people say

"On 13 acres of private reserve, this boutique hotel is contemporary and very chic, with rooms rendered in slate, hardwood, and rattan with Italian fittings. Elegance abounds with soft hues of cream and white and pampering extras like 500-thread-count Egyptian-cotton bed linens and Turkish robes. Jacuzzi tubs and (shared) rooftop sundecks encourage relaxation, as does the Terra Spa complete with a Vichy rain shower, mud room, sauna, hair salon, and six treatment rooms. Higher room categories include a complimentary mini-spa treatment with direct booking. Three white buildings house the rooms, which are surprisingly spacious—the smallest is 350 square feet. Wildlife tours of the preserve take place daily at 3:30, and beach transportation is offered hourly from 7:30 to 4. The hotel’s La Luna Restaurant has an excellent tapas menu from 4 to 6 and sweeping sunset views, earning it a reputation as one of the best restaurants in Manuel Antonio."
"Surrounded by the coastal forests of Manual Antonio National Park. This hotel has its own reserve land set aside for the conservation of both two‑toed and three‑toed sloths, various monkey species, iguanas & the rare Scarlett Macaw. 
 Alongside experiencing the 10 acres of private reserve, the luxury hotel also has a gorgeous eco‑friendly spa & a restaurant with panoramic views of the tropical rain forest that surrounds it. "
"Gaia Luxury Boutique Hotel and Reserve, located in Manuel Antonio Beach, Costa Rica, is a 5 star Eco-friendly and adults only resort. Enjoy a tropical luxurious getaway in a spectacular exotic location, this is Gaia Hotel & Reserve. They have managed to achieve an ideal blend of modern amenities and natural scenery for you to enjoy."
